6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Very strong winds. Moderate surf conditions. Inside the bay may be pretty nice today as it is sheltered from the wind.
- Surf: 2-3 ft.
- Weather: Similar to North Bays.
-
Notes: Rocky shoreline sheltered bay. Use the Honolua Lookout before the bay to check conditions. The water should be blue and you should be able to see the reef. If the water looks “milky” or green the snorkeling will not be good. If there are surfers on the north side of the bay the snorkeling conditions are probably poor or even dangerous. If it has been raining the river empties brown, muddy water into the bay and you should definitely stay out of the water.

6Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions:Very strong winds. Very small surf. Stay close to shore. Water visibility should be nice. Have a great day.
- Webcam: Whaler condo.
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: ENE wind 12 to 17 kt. Mostly sunny. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
- Notes: Don’t snorkel directly under Black Rock, you don’t want to get jumped on. Turtles as usual. Don’t forget they are protected so give them space but enjoy. If you venture around Black Rock stay close to shore. Watch for surge along the rocks.

8Olowalu Mile Marker 14
Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach- Overall Conditions: Moderate to strong winds. Small surf. It should be nicer here today than it has been in a while.
- Weather: NNE wind 5 to 13 kt. Sunny.
- Notes: Give the turtles some space and don’t get your car stuck in the sand. There is a sand channel that goes through the reef across the highway from the Mile Marker 14 post that is the easiest place to swim out.
